EVENT: A panel discussion, “Food with a Conscience: Ethical and Jewish Perspectives on the Business of What We Eat,” will feature Seth Goldman, co-founder and TeaEO, Honest Tea, and Ari Weinzweig, co-owner and founding partner, Zingerman’s Community of Businesses.

Rabbi Nathan Martin, associate director, University of Michigan Hillel, will moderate the discussion.

Can businesses navigate the shoals of social responsibility and make a profit? How might Jewish values inform the behavior of producers and consumers?
